Great story man, brings back many memories of my childhood also.. Things sure are a lot different now.. Gotta let kids be kids ya know, let em get beat up, banged up.. Let em compete in sports, and let em lose a few.. I don't care what anyone says losing a few is good for a child, cause I know for sure when real life hits, they are not going to win em all..

Organisms are made to adapt. By limiting kids' freedom in order to avoid injuries, the human race grows weaker generation by generation. And it's not just physical weakness.
It has been proven, that exposing people to anything imaginable, will make the adapt. No matter what it is; disease, injuries, love, lies, help. We WILL grow tolerant.

Yeah, that's far different than what it was like for me in school. Our school removed the swings, the tether-ball pole, and banned football before school and during lunches, all in fear that students might get hurt. There's even a law where I live that a teacher cannot legally physically touch a student in ANY WAY. One student was throwing rocks at windows, smashing them, and trying to hurt people, and all they did was put the school in lock-down until the police arrived, because they could be fired if they touched him. It's absolutely insane.
